You forget how chubby their cheeks were and just how tiny their toes used to be. You forget about their little button nose and how peaceful they would look when napping. You forget about all those times when their chuckles would leave yourself in a fit of laughter, about the times when they were first discovering how to play – getting glimpses at their own blossoming personality.

But every now and then we remember; when we see a sleeping baby in a pram, hear the vibrancy of a toddlers laughter in the shops, or when we look through old photo albums of precious memories past.

It’s easy to forget the little things in the chaos of life, when you swap sleeping infants and first smiles for school lunches and sports games. It’s so important to capture the details. Life happens in the small moments.

It was a pleasure to capture some moments of little Oscar for his parent to hold on to forever.

There are just a few sessions left for 2018. Please contact Peta to secure your session asap. Now also taking bookings for Jan- Mar 2019.

“Sisters and brothers are the truest, purest forms of love, family and friendship, knowing when to hold you and when to challenge you, but always being a part of you. ”

– Carol Ann Albright Eastman

A sibling’s love is unlike anything else. From the moment you become a sibling you become a protector, a confidant, an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, a rival, a teacher, a student, a reflection of the other, an equal.

I was beyond grateful to have been able to capture these moments between Evan and his big brother when the bonds they will share over their lifetime first began.

“Children have such an innocent view of their world and surroundings; every thought is a garden full of wonder.”

– C.J. Heck

Children grow up so fast. One moment they are looking into their Mother’s eyes for the first time, and grasping their Father’s finger with a tiny hand. Before you know it, they are gleefully demanding to walk themselves into school and wanting to go on their first sleepover. Running into the gates of high school and out onto the oval. It’s important to capture the moments along the way; when they are still discovering their toes, and climbing into their parent’s lap. When they are still small enough to fit in both parent’s hands and cuddle up beside, at any time of the day.

As a photographer there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the parent’s reaction when they first see their photos. It was a pleasure to turn a moment into a tangible memory to visit whenever necessary for little Elsa’s parents.

“The littlest feet make the biggest footprints in our hearts” – We often look forward to our future with BIG dreams and anticipations. But when we meet our children for the first time — everything else seems insignificant in comparison.

Having a baby brings a depth of love that’s hard to imagine. With such beautiful and amazing parents, Matilda is sure to grow up with endless amounts of love.

New life is an incredible thing to witness. Suddenly, when your precious little one is born, what you thought you knew about love grows in ways that we never thought it could. That love continues to grow just as our child does. The first few months of your baby’s life is a whirlwind, so many changes happen. One of the things you will wish for the most is the ability to freeze every single moment, so you can really cherish this time with this tiny miracle you created.

It was so lovely to meet and photograph tiny Spencer with his parents recently. His Dad is a bit of a footy fan so scroll to the end to see what we created for him.

“Having a baby is a life-changer. It gives you a whole other perspective on why you wake up every day.” ~ Taylor Hanson

Every so often I will get a baby in the studio that is a little above the “average” weight for a newborn. Little Jacob, who was not really that little, weighed over 10lbs at birth. I always comment to clients that it is amazing how much difference that extra couple of pounds makes when it comes to babies.

Jacob was just delightful with those sweet chubby cheeks and those back rolls, with that little bit extra to love.

I absolutely love this photo of Jacob in his Daddy’s (hardworking) hands. It looked amazing printed as a large canvas, and I’m so it is admired by his parents as it hangs on their wall.

I’m often asked if I only photographed Newborns, and the answer to that is no. My next most favourite age to photograph is 6-9 months old, this is such a milestone age. Baby has most likely learnt to sit unaided within this time and have developed their own personality, often easily entertained and giving lots of smiles. If they haven’t yet learned to crawl, I can capture them without them running away from the camera. I just love the wonderful expressions and the variety of images I can capture at this age.

I love seeing my newborns return for a milestone session, it is so nice to see how much they have grown and changed in that time.

These sessions are available on weekdays in the studio and can also include parents and sibling photos, with the main focus being on baby.

To book your milestone session please contact me for more information.

From the first moment you meet your newborn – your whole world changes.

As soon as you see your new baby, you’ll know what it is like to have your heart beating outside of your body. All instincts will take over, and you will feel love like you never knew possible. This day, your child’s first day on earth will be the most important day of your life.

It was an honour to be able to capture the immense love this family had for their darling baby girl Demi.

As you sit staring at your new baby in awe, you wonder what you did so right to deserve this perfect miracle. It’s almost like you’re waiting for someone to tell you “time’s up” and you have to give them back. It takes a little while to realise that’s not going to happen and he is yours forever.

I loved capturing the love these guys have for their new baby boy Jackson.
